Too fu*kin scary to even realize, but the damn sheep are going to put that bastard in office. You watch.
I forget the exact phrase or who said it, but it was something about when the people figured out how to get more money from the government by voting in the ones that promised them more money....wish I could remember it exactly. Maybe someone else will know it.
All I can say is get ready !!!

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship."
- Alexander Fraser Tyler, "The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic" |

Thank you. That's exactly what I was trying to remember. No truer words were ever spoken and is coming true right before our eyes.
